"The [@ChildLawProject] authors say that what they saw amounts to a failure by the State to meet its constitutional and human rights obligations toward children. They warn the State is exposing itself to legal challenges as a consequence."

Great to be at launch of @ChildLawProject Falling Through the Cracks report yesterday evening, vital reading. Child protection is the responsibility of everyone, any new government must act like that. Multi-departmental/agency strategy needed to address lack of places in care.

Thanks. One of the bright sparks featured in our #FallingThroughTheCracks report is the work of @Barnardos_IRL running a pilot national project to support parents whose children are in care (funded by @tusla)

As showcased yesterday by @ChildLawProject, this issue continues to grow as placements in foster become fewer and farther between. More & younger children are entering residential care where education becomes a harder task to accomplish due to instability & lack of resources

"For the first time ever, [@ChildLawProject has] seen cases of young children for whom no foster carer is available; very young children, as young as four years, being placed in residential care; and a ‘waiting list’ for admission to special care.
